Snow, Creations, and, Questions

So, what better way to spend my days, than creating little pieces of art.

I'm playing around with various weathered, and, rusty paint finishes.

Okay, I want to answer a couple questions I've been asked about my metal creations.

I don't use a machine to cut metal. I do it all by hand. Sometimes I use tin snips, sometimes I use one of my many vintage industrial scissors. I always sand the edges smooth.

As far as my finishes go, I experiment, A LOT. If you're a long time reader, you know I'm a bit of a mad scientist. Most of my work is artistic, not specific. I use a little bit of everything, including some of the paint recipes from the Farragoz course. I may use it alone, or, with some of my own mixtures, and, solutions.

Thanks for the one you sent in my package. I will be purchasing these in a few months, if that is ok??? Budget right now. I told my hubby you cut these by hand. I new you would do these free hand. That's what is amazing!

I guess I could call you a snow bird in your nest creating.All your creations are dreamy and we all want themYour choice of paints is always right on .I am jealous of all your beautiful snow we haven't had more than flakes this year, last year we dug out about 3 times.Funny how the weather pattern changes year to year, use to we knew we would get snow, now noneWell anyway love your art dear

Really beautiful Rosemary, I know the snow can play havoc in ones daily life with getting around, but to see this beautiful blanket does force one to just stay put and create. Your face plates, shields, and tags of metal are divinly perfect. You have this art down to the finest.

Love your long shot of the yard filled snow, it looks like quite the snow day.See you soon.
